What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2, 5) and (1, 4)

a.) -3
b.) -2
c.) -1/3
d.) 1/3

I think it's b, but I feel like it could also be a. Please help? My dyslexia is making this problem super tricky.

To determine the slope of a line passing through two points, we can use the formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.

Let's plug in the coordinates from the given points (-2, 5) and (1, 4):

m = (4 - 5) / (1 - (-2))

Simplifying this, we get:

m = (-1) / (1 + 2)
= (-1) / 3

So the slope of the line passing through the given points is -1/3.

Therefore, the correct answer is c.) -1/3.
